Live (together) with

Does "to live (together) with someone" necessarily mean "to live (together) with someone in the same house"? Isn't it possible for it to mean something about close relationships with someone or standing by someone's side, always being with him/her while living?
  

Top answer

Live with someone normally means in the same house . I would not expect it to be used to mean spend a lot of time together.

I see. But "live without someone" is not necessarily about living without someone in the same hose, is it?

(e.g. I cannot live without her)
